DOT Releases 2009 Alternate Side Parking calendar

New feature allows motorists to upload ASP dates to even more PDAs

The New York City Department of Transportation (DOT) today announced that the 2009 Alternate Side Parking (ASP) Rules Suspension Calendar is now posted on its Web site at www.nyc.gov/dot/asprules, and is available in formats that can be imported into Outlook and now into Google Calendar or iCal-three popular electronic calendar systems on Web-enabled mobile phones and other Portable Data Accessories (PDAs).

The calendar lists 34 legal and religious holidays in 2009 when ASP (street cleaning) regulations will be suspended. Motorists are encouraged to take advantage of a convenient feature that allows them to take the calendar on their PDA or to download a PDF version of the calendar from the DOT Web site.

In addition to these 34 holidays, ASP regulations may be suspended from time to time because of snow weather or other emergencies. Please visit our Web site at www.nyc.gov/dot or dial 311 for further information.

Printed calendars may also be obtained by calling 311. For the hearing impaired, dial the TTY number (212) 504-4115.

On major legal holidays, stopping, standing, and parking are permitted, except in areas where stopping, standing, and parking rules are in effect 7 days a week (for example, "No Standing Anytime"). However, parking meters will not be in effect on major legal holidays.
